Giannis: The Boy Who Became a Basketball King

By Michael .S. Mathews

Giannis: The Boy Who Became a Basketball King is the hilarious, heart-pounding tale of a kid who went from selling sunglasses on the streets of Athens to dunking basketballs in front of thousands of screaming fans. Seriously-who knew a guy who couldn't even find his shoes could end up being an NBA MVP?

Meet Giannis Antetokounmpo, a kid who was so tall, he hit his head on doorways and had a laugh so loud you could hear it across the block. But despite his height and huge dreams, he had one small problem-he wasn't exactly the best basketball player. His shots were more like "airballs" and his dribbling looked like he was trying to juggle watermelons.

But guess what? He didn't let that stop him. Instead, he practiced every single day, sometimes using imaginary basketballs (don't ask) and borrowed sneakers (yep, they didn't even fit). Through hard work, a lot of snacks, and some seriously stretchy arms, Giannis grew into the "Greek Freak" the world can't stop talking about. Oh, and did we mention he can fly? Well, he can't really fly, but he can dunk like he's got wings

Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of laughs, inspiration, and probably too many basketball puns. From selling sunglasses on the streets to winning MVP awards, Giannis proves that with a lot of heart, a few funny moments, and a little bit of magic, you can turn any dream into reality-even if you have to jump a few hoops along the way
